1. Combat theft- hold all the high risk cds behind the counter, been inside a gamestop you know what I'm saying. Its nothing but dead boxes theft is the last thing on the minds of gamestop employees, i hate babysitting thieves it's taking up working time.That would be cool to throw away all those useless yellow locks. Theft sucks and BBV is a target and BBV does NOTHING ABOUT IT, well they do something about the games at least. We got told late last year to put the games "live" that shit sucked we had a field day over that $1000s in theft over that no wonder why we are loosing money. When Notorious gets released that is going to be a field day I already told my SM we are going to have to hold that movie behind the counter. 2. Automated registers- get BBV programmers to dumb down our register system so a customer can run it, movie gallery did it and grocery stores do it too they have 1 person running 4 registers.

stores and SMs already mandate high-risk titles being behind the counter, but very few. trouble is it really hinders the potential of rental AND sales numbers when we do that.
but yeah, it is ridiculous the amount of attention we have to put on theft. it's even worse now that we had to take all our retail dvds out of lock-boxes. all it takes is a quick peeling of the sensor tag and stuffing it in a bag. so now we have to look at fishy behavior, look at customer's clothing for any signs of concealing and constant floor walks through every part of the store. and the CSR situation hardly effects blockbuster, really. you either get the hours or you don't, it's simple. having more CSRs at a store just means more free rentals, less pre-street availability but much better shift coverage/availability/reliability. |

Yes, I got an order for live games - EVERYTHING WENT LIVE. I fought it tooth and nail! I HATED the idea. No one listened. Not the RDO, DM, LP...nothing mattered!!
...and all this right after an overnight break that cost me most of my game systems that were locked in my cage. So guess what LPs suggestion was, "get it out of the cage, we want nothing live in the cage, lock dead boxes in there and put butcher paper over the sides and doors". So, where did we have to lock the REAL product...don't want to say as anyone can read this, but lets just say it was a really obvious and stupid area... So, needless to say, everything went live, and yes, my store was in the Ghetto!! Well, for about a week we kept finding games slashed open and the games missing from within the boxes. Turned out, the theives were putting the LIVE game boxes they were slicing open behind the real cover boxes in our rental section! They were slick! By the time we found them all, there was an easy $2500 missing in live product - this doesn't include the controllers and game cards we found cut out of their LIVE boxes as well!!! After that I pulled ALL my LIVE game product and put it in boxes with the other crap they wanted secured (systems), and told my DM next time listen to me and let me have blu-locks back, as I WILL NOT put another live game out there to have it stolen if I was going to be held accountable for it! That it would sit in boxes unavailable for before I do that again! Because a $35 hit on inventory is much greater than the $10-15 they make on the sale!! When I left, they were still sitting in the back... This company is not about solutions...I really think they like hiring idiots to create themselves more problems!!
